The TV series "Old Guy" starring Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Zhang Tielin and others has finally started, and this drama has attracted the attention of many netizens from the moment the starring lineup was determined.
Especially the older audience, many of them are full of expectations for this drama, and the main reason for looking forward to it is naturally to be able to watch the "Iron Triangle" combination again, after all, "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" can also be called the childhood memories of a generation.
Judging from the content of the four episodes currently aired, the plot is relatively bland, although each of the three protagonists has an inevitable scripture at home, and there are many drama conflicts in each family, but these family conflicts feel like clichés, and they are not uncommon in domestic dramas of the same type.
In the play, Zhang Guoli plays a character named Xiao Changqing, the vice chairman of the trade union of a group company, and his usual job is to rehearse the show with the company's old comrades, which seems to be quite leisurely, but in fact, there are many trivial things, which are often thankless.
However, compared with these trivial things at work, those things at Xiao Changqing's home may make him feel more upset.
Xiao Changqing lives with his mother, eldest son, and daughter-in-law, and in previous domestic family ethics dramas, the old ladies in the family are usually partial to the old son, but in this drama, Xiao's mother is more partial to her daughter.
Xiao Changqing's sister's son is going to get married, Xiao's mother is crying and making trouble and forcing Xiao Changqing to help buy a wedding house, when Xiao Changqing proposed that his son and daughter-in-law do not have a house yet, Xiao's mother said that she likes to live with her grandson's family, and she thinks it is very lively.
In order to reassure his mother, Xiao Changqing agreed to help his sister raise money, but this behavior immediately caused dissatisfaction among his son and daughter-in-law.
So Xiao Changqing could only go between the old man and the child.
The character played by Wang Gang in the play is called Sun Qiancheng, who is a colleague of Xiao Changqing, and usually likes to take advantage of it, and is a little smart.
But he was not less deceived, and his first appearance was from an organization like a pyramid scheme.
Sun Qiancheng himself has a very chic life, he has a very rich wife, the owner of a large company named Xia Mingzhou, played by the famous host Zhou Tao.
The couple stood together, no matter how you look at it, Sun Qiancheng has climbed high.
However, Sun Qiancheng's family also has troubles, that is, his daughter's married life is not happy, judging from the current plot, Sun Qiancheng's son-in-law is definitely not a good thing, he PUA his wife at home, and at the same time cheats on female colleagues outside.
Although Sun Qiancheng found that his daughter's situation was not quite right, because his daughter was still defending his son-in-law, he could only give his son-in-law some verbal warnings.
Zhang Tielin's role in the play is called Chen Xincheng, the founder of Xincheng Group, and he is friends with Xiao Changqing and Sun Qiancheng for more than 40 years.
I don't know how these three people got along before, why Chen Xincheng, as the founder of such a large group, only let his two good friends be ordinary employees in his own company.
And the names of the group are all named after Chen Xincheng, why was he easily set aside by his apprentices? Several directors on the board of directors raised their hands and directly let him "retire early".
The main contradiction in Chen Xincheng's family lies in the generation gap between him and his son, in his eyes, the things his son does are not doing his job, and he is at home and outside, he is also a leader, and he can't be said to be full of "father", it should be said that he is full of "emperor".
The three "old guys" in the play are in such different family environments, encountering their own different family troubles.
Although it seems that there are constant contradictions, for viewers who have watched several domestic family ethics dramas, in fact, there is really nothing new about such a plot.
However, if there are no strict requirements for the plot, but you just have feelings for the "Iron Triangle", then this drama is still worth watching.
The way the "Iron Triangle" gets along in the play is almost the modern version of Qianlong, He Shen, and Ji Xiaolan.
Chen Xincheng is like Qianlong, he is in a high position, although he was set up by his apprentice in the first episode, he still looks like he is high in what he talks and does.
Sun Qiancheng and He Shen's personalities are almost the same, they are both a little slippery, a little smart, but they don't have great wisdom, and they always want to take advantage of it.
Xiao Changqing naturally corresponds to Ji Xiaolan, the difference is that Xiao Changqing is more honest than Ji Xiaolan, although he never shows mercy to Sun Qiancheng, he does not play tricks on him.
Of course, the main reason is that although Sun Qiancheng's personality is somewhat similar to He Shen, after all, he is essentially different from He Shen, in this drama, he is not a villain, but a close "comrade-in-arms" of Xiao Changqing and Chen Xincheng.
In the whole play, as long as the three of them appear together, they are arguing almost all the time, and Xiao Changqing, who usually looks quite honest, seems to have more eyes in his heart as long as he is with these two old friends.
So if you also liked to watch "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" at the beginning, then this "Old Guy" should not disappoint you.
